Film Room: Kerryon Johnson shines in preseason opener

Kerryon Johnson was the most exciting pick the Detroit Lions made in the 2018 NFL draft. The Auburn product was selected in the second round and is one of the players tasked with fixing the Lions’ dismal run game. Last Friday’s preseason opener was his first chance to show off his talent at the NFL level and he managed to shine.

The running back’s most exciting run of the night was called back due to a holding call but it showed the open field running ability that has the Lions so excited for him.
